Hello all,

Possible noob question.

I have installed a 64 bit gentoo on my intel Pentium D machine.
Now I am reading through /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example

My CFLAGS on that machine is the default currently: CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe"
But according to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml#cflags I can make it:
-O2 -march=core2 -pipe

Is this entirely necessary? Will it cause a big improvement?

If I do change, how do I recompile everything? (like --newuse for USE changes?)

Thank you,
Coert Waagmeester
